You know when T4 is converted to T3, an iodine molecule is cleaved off naturally. T4 therefore supplies some iodine, which is mostly recycled.
I'll look this up later this week. We are having a family emergency this week, and I am not online here as much as I usually am.
I'll try to search this "theory" for validity, soon.

This can lead to all sorts of problems, including cancer, because it shuts off the body's natural (iodine) defense system.

He himself used to be on Synthroid, but weaned himself off it, switching to iodine. He does the same thing with his patients.
It sounds like millions of people are going to hell in a handbasket. |
